The Early Church Had Boldness In Defense of the Truth

September 14th, 2013

The Sanhedrin commanded Peter and John not to preach the resurrection of Jesus under the threat of punishment. The Apostles possessed boldness in defense of the Gospel. They were ready to go anywhere and everywhere to announce the Good News. What is the Good News (the Gospel)? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 tells that the gospel consists of the fact that Jesus died and was buried and that He arose from the dead. Let’s look to the boldness of the Apostles and be strong in the strength of God’s Word.

We must know what we believe and why. We must believe that God’s word is infallible and inerrant. If we know what we believe and why we can have boldness in presenting the Gospel to a lost world.

Jude 3 reads as follows, “Beloved,while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you, appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once and for all delivered to the saints.”
